Down, farmer Armagh assizes Joseph BROWN a private soldier belonging to the 47th regiment of foot was indicted for breaking the gaol of which he had been confined for robbery was found guilty. The prisoner, who wept bitterly, implored his lordship to send him out of the country; he expressed great repugnance to return to his regiment, on account of alleged illtreatment, although he said he loved a soldiering life. The judge said he would consider the matter. Hamilton or Hammy GILLESPIE a notorious offender, who has been not less than 5 times committed to the county gaol was tried on 3 indictments, for uttering base coin in Lurgan; the prisoner, who is considerably advanced in years, feigned insanity and amused the spectators a good deal by his acting. Verdict - Guilty. "Transport me, my lord Chief Justice” cried he, "an old woman said forty years ago I would be hanged in some part of the world or another, transport me !” The Judge ”I'll try and accommodate you by-and-by" Peter CAVANAGH a private soldier, for burglariously entering the house of Mr. David BEATTY at Armagh and stealing therefrom bank notes, silver spoons and other articles, his property. The evidence in this case was entirely circumstantial. Upon the whole of the evidence, such as it was, the jury, after some consultation returned a verdict - Guilty. Mr Patrick Joseph MITCHEL was indicted for having on the 13th Mar. last feloniously discharged a loaded gun at Mr. Dixon GIBBS with intent to kill or do some bodily harm - Acquitted James M'GRAW (a boy, not more than 16) was then put to trial for that he, in June 1832, had been concerned with others in a riot and in the obstruction of Francis M'KERNON in the execution of his duty and assaulting him. From the evidence of M'KERNON a process server, it appeared that on the day in question, he was employed in serving tithe processes for the Rev. Mr. JONES rector of Madden. He had just served a process on the widow MALLON, when the whole country, to the extent of some hundred men and boys assembled, on the blowing of horns, from the different hills, M'KERNON made his way as speedily as possible to the house of Atty WOODS, whither he was followed by the mob and obliged to give up the whole of his tithe processes, which were immediately destroyed, the prisoner was most forward on this occasion; he was armed with a reaping-hook (which had been straightened) and used violent threats to oblige M' KERNON to deliver up his papers. The reason the prisoner was not apprehended sooner M'KERNON explained, by saying that he did not know either his name or residence until the beginning of this year, but he was positive to his identity. Two other witnesses, A. WOODS and W. MOULDS also identified the prisoner, who however, received a good character from them both, as well as from Mr. John WILSON, who had known him from childhood. He was found guilty- sentence deferred transscribed by Teena from the Dublin Observer -- www.cotyrone.com http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] UlsterAncestry Mailing List Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry Website: https://cotyrone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/
